According to the data analysis of the International Packaging Research Institute in 2023, the unit production cost of Custom Spout Pouches is 25% lower than that of traditional plastic bottles. This is mainly due to its lightweight design that reduces the usage of raw materials. For example, after Procter & Gamble launched a shampoo product in 2022 using a spout bag, The cost of packaging per piece has decreased by 0.5 US dollars. In terms of supply chain efficiency, the inventory turnover rate of spout bags is 30% higher than that of bottles. Due to a 50% reduction in occupied space, enterprises can optimize their warehouse layout. Just as Unilever reduced inventory holding costs by 15% in its logistics reform in 2021 by switching packaging forms.
From a transportation perspective, the average weight of Custom Spout Pouches is only 20% of that of a bottle, which leads to a 40% reduction in fuel consumption during transportation. According to DHL’s 2024 logistics report, a standard container can carry 300% more product units, thereby reducing the freight cost per kilometer by 18%. For instance, when Amazon tested the spout bag packaging in 2023, it achieved a 25% reduction in transportation carbon emissions and a 10% increase in delivery speed, which is in line with the global sustainable development goals.
The comparison of environmental costs shows that the carbon footprint of Custom Spout Pouches is 60% lower than that of glass bottles because its production energy consumption is only 0.5 kilowatt-hours per unit, while bottles require 1.2 kilowatt-hours. Referring to the EU plastic tax policy in 2022, many enterprises such as Nestle have adopted recyclable spout bags. The compliance fees have been reduced by 20%. In addition, the recycling rate of spout bags can reach 70%, which is 20 percentage points higher than the 50% of bottles. This is based on an environmental protection study in 2021, which indicated that spout bags have a higher life cycle assessment score in the circular economy model.
In terms of market acceptance, consumer surveys show that the convenience of Custom Spout Pouches has led to a 15% increase in product sales. Among them, the portability score is 35% higher than that of bottles. For example, the juice spout bag series launched by Coca-Cola in 2020 saw an 8% increase in market share within six months. From the perspective of return on investment, although the initial mold cost of the spout bag is 10% higher than that of the bottle, in the long-term operation, due to the damage rate being as low as 2% (10% for the bottle), the overall return rate can reach 25%, which is based on the market analysis data of Nielsen in 2023.
Ultimately, the comprehensive cost-benefit assessment indicates that the total cost of ownership of Custom Spout Pouches over a five-year period is 30% lower than that of bottles. Among them, the packaging efficiency is improved by 40%, and the risk control such as damage risk is reduced by 50%. Referring to the 2024 Global Packaging Trends Report, the average profit margin of enterprises increased by 12% after adopting spout pouches. This innovative packaging solution is becoming the industry standard and is expected to have a penetration rate of 60% by 2025.
